Grant Leadbitter (Middlesbrough)

Boro's captain has struggled with injuries this season with only three appearances under his belt. The tough-tackler was a huge part of their promotion last season and he is set to return in the next few weeks.

Frazier Campbell (Crystal Palace)

After four years in the Premier League, Campbell could be forced to return to the Championship in the near future. A return of one goal in six appearances this season is unlikely to win a new contract at Palace.

Andrew Surman (AFC Bournemouth)

The 30-year-old has only made 10 appearances for the Cherries this season and will become a free agent in the summer. His previous Championship promotion experience won't go unnoticed when the window opens next month.

Stephen Ireland (Stoke City)

An injury-hit spell at Stoke is set to end with the midfielder due to return from a broken leg suffered in training. A January move to the Championship seems possible if he can prove his fitness.

Charlie Adam (Stoke City)

The Scottish midfielder is certainly a capable player and Mark Hughes likes him. Might well get a new contract at Stoke (there is an option to) but if not, hardly likely to be short of offers.

Lloyd Isgrove (Southampton)

The Saints midfielder has been limited to three appearances this season after helping Barnsley to promotion in League One last term. A breakthrough into the Southampton's first-team looks unlikely and a January move could be in the offing.

Phil Bardsley (Stoke City)

Bardsley, 31, is another Stoke player whose current contract is expiring. He has made 11 appearances this term and the experienced right-back may be on the move.

George Boyd (Burnley)

The right midfielder’s contract is up at the end of the season and there’s no prospect of a new deal coming his way.
